The challenge with this total home renovation was to leave the existing foot print of the home but open walls and rethink the living areas. Further, the client had a strong design sense and knew she wanted to combine materials both old and new to create a sense of "rough luxe" living.

Originally the interior of the house consisted of small, dark rooms, low ceilings and dyed in the wool traditional furnishings. Recognizing the “solid bones” of the house the couple embarked on a renovation to expand the living space, reconfigure existing rooms and bring light into the structure.

The overarching plan was to bring fresh, modern, sustainable materials to use in every room. This would create a unique contrast to traditional materials like dry stacked stone and reclaimed wood floors and ceilings. A subtle play of unexpected textures is apparent throughout the house.
